What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

putin is uh has a long history of being close to jewish people now in terms of the history of the russian government the russian government has not usually been an ally of the jewish people how many jews were led astray forgot about judaism and forgot about god under russian rule from the tsar to communism but very interesting vladimir putin has been a very powerful exception and uh jewish people have played a very and uh jewish people have played a very significant role in his personal history um so the question is why is that in fact you know he was at an event he was holding rabbi lazar's uh hand like he was holding it like like this and the kgb comes no you don't do that and he said so what is this unusual relationship that he has jewish people you'll see where i'm getting at but actually um rabbi beryl lazar who's referred to as putin's rabbi some job he told the story about putin that putin he told the story about putin that putin had told him and that is putin grew up in a as a young child in a very poor communist family his parents were barely home they were very poor they were working you know on behalf of communism and he lived next door and they sort of sheared a tenement with with a wall that didn't even go all the way up with a khasirishi family a chabad family and he would come home from school
